This weeks Author’s Blog Challenge is my latest reads. As I’m a book reviewer I always have several books on the go. This week I’m reading the following books:

Red Adept Publishing

Ever since the death of her fiancé, Meredith Mancuso has shrunk from the world. Even with her successful writing career, she’s not motivated to work. When her sister, Monica, begs for a favor, Meredith wants nothing more than to say no. But she’s ultimately roped into pet-sitting an orphaned Yorkshire terrier named Prozac.

Blessed with spiritual wisdom and a high IQ, Prozac is an active pet therapy dog. To heal broken-hearted Meredith, he rallies his fan club at Evergreen Gardens, an independent living facility, where he visits each week.

Prozac and the community of resilient older folks challenged by losses of their own propel Meredith, often against her will, back into the land of the living. Meredith learns that most people carry some sort of burden, but it’s still possible to find meaning, purpose, and joy–and sometimes, even love–along the way.

This is a romantic comedy with a fabulous dog character.

When Gemma discovers a pair of ancient duelling pistols encrusted with rubies in the basement of the local museum, she is immediately intrigued…

On a fateful night in 1838 two sisters were found shot in the cellars of Red Hill Hall. And when Gemma begins to delve deeper into their history she begins to realise that the secrets of that night are darker than anyone had ever imagined.

As the shocking events of the past begin to unravel, Gemma’s own life starts to fall apart. Loyalties are tested and suddenly it seems as if history is repeating itself, as Gemma learns that female friendships can be deadly…

I’ve read Kathleen’s two previous books, which are interesting timeslip women’s fiction stories, where contemporary meets the past. I can’t wait to start this one.

If you like it please leave me a review on Amazon and Goodreads.

Here are some reviewer comments from Amazon on The Dangerous Gift:

‘This fab suspense is intriguing and gripping, but the love story makes it a must-read. It’s satisfying on many levels, and will transport you to a whole new world of cowboy boots and skinny dipping, trucks and colts, ranch yards and corals, porches and sheriffs. And then there’s and overlay of jealousy and retribution, brooding suspicion, and tragedy and secrets.’ 5* Review

‘You’re invested in the characters, and you want to know what happens to them – will they get out of this alive? Can everyone breathe a sigh of relief yet…? Honestly? Don’t be lulled into a sense of security. Not only does this author keep you on your toes, but she manages to weave a couple of red herrings in there too.

The obvious chemistry between our hero and heroine, coupled with the brilliant suspense, makes a very well-written book from this lovely author.’ 5* Review
